<Anchor> The
anti-discrimination bill, the subject of long-standing controversy, was re-approved in the National Assembly in June. In the meantime, mostly unification party lawmakers have expressed their opposition, but this time, a Democratic party lawmaker has announced that he will hold an opposition debate.
For more details, this is Jung Hyun Jeong.
<Reporter> The
Democratic Party member who decided to hold a discussion on the anti-discrimination bill in the National Assembly a week later is the first member of the House Representative, Hoi-jae Kim.
Rep. Kim, an elder of the church, says he is holding a debate against discrimination because of sexual orientation and gender identity.
It is argued that the law will suppress the freedom to spread the doctrine of homosexuality and the like.
[Kim Hoi-jae / In addition, Democratic Party member: I will issue a correction order to stop (discrimination)... If you fail to comply with the relief process, you may be subject to criminal punishment. There is a good chance that.] The
criticism that it violates the Democratic Party's program of'respecting the rights of the socially weak and minorities' refutes this.
[Kim Hoi-jae/Democratic Party Member: If the majority of the people are rather reverse discrimination by granting the privileges and privileges of a small number of people, then our Democratic Party is a party that plays a role in protecting the entire people... .]
There is an objection to the punishment for violating the anti-discrimination law among Congressman Kim's claims.
[Jong-cheol Kim/Senior Spokesperson of Justice Party (last month): (Penalties of the bill) Four areas are employment, provision of goods and services, education, and administrative services. It is not a law that punishes pastors or congregation members for voicing against homosexuality.] The
LGBTQ preparatory meeting in the Democratic Party strongly requested that the party leadership block the debate, saying, "This debate violates the basic spirit of the party." .
[Park ○○ / Democratic Party LGBTQ preparatory group team leader: Calling people who led the hate speech to hold a debate is clearly a debate against the history and program of the Democratic Party... .] When the
bill was proposed in June, only two Democratic Party members joined the proportional representative, and Lee Sang-min is showing additional initiatives, but most of the ruling party members are not making any comments.
